How are these compared to the apple 2nd gen earphones and sennheiser cx300ii precision enhanced bass?
20134
The CX300ii have a frequency response of 19-21,000Hz and the JVC Xtreme Xplosives go down to an unbelievable 5Hz. JVC covers more "lows"(5Hz) and also covers more "highs"(25,000Hz) than the CX300ii. Apple's earbuds are just for hearing something come out of the other end and that's it. If you are looking for an earbud that sounds like you have a 12" subwoofer in each ear, then JVC is the way to go. I am talking about the deepest bass you have ever heard in your life. I am a bass freak and not everyone is the same, but these JVC earbuds are absolutely INSANE and literally BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

While these headphones are great for the money they are not in that class. If you are willing to spend the money for those others do so. If you want headphones that are good for the money these will do the job, not great bass but good. They lack the highs a bit though. I hope this helps.

I've never used the cx300ii's so I can't say much about that, but these are quite better than the secondgeneration apple earphones in pretty much every regard.

Couldn't tell you! They are broken and in the GARBAGE -Lasted 1 week and they HURT -DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!

Honestly, I can only compare them to my Sony extended bass earphones and estimate they have 10-20hz greater range. Hope this helps

I mainly use them for music on a iMac 27" I also use the app boom, the speakers have seperate bass and treble controls, but I do watch movie trailers and creativeLIVE and they perform excellent, don't max the volume though, this is when they tend to go south at that point... Over all way better sound then the stock speakers...

I have personally never owned the XB700's but they definitely have more bass than the original XB300's. I would also describe these XB920's as having more "accurate" bass.

I listen to a lot of acoustic music and it seems to me they perform very well.I love trying to get a feel for the different instruments and have compared my 3 versions of Beethoven's 9th, a lot of Vivaldi, Miles Davis, Vince Guaraldi, and loads of prog rock and I must say I feel satisfied. Treebles sound clear and somehow I can feel some depth so treebles are "closer" to me than bass sounds. Bass is not bad, I have listened to some Daft Punk and similar, that music has a lot of bass beat and it sounds good. I cannot compare to cx300 Senheiser since my only in ear Senheisers are MX270 which are not as good. The bass sounds better in my ultimate ears 600vi and somehow in my classic Bose in ear, but the seal and external noise attenuation on the E10 is better than that on the Bose old model.

I would avoid these. Not sure if I got a bad pair but the sound level and quality is below iPhone earbuds. Bass is below a 20 dollar pair. I returned mine

they are clear, very natural, but definitely no too bass heavy. and with such an impedance, you need some good power to get some volume out of them. surprisingly, my old Nokia N9 is able to power them a lot better than my current Note3. laptop (thinkpad) is so-so. I don't know how iPad is with the level of audio output.

Hi Bryan, it depends if you appreciate flat response. If you're into augmented bass maybe look at something that is more tailored to bass boosting, etc... However, if you're interested in faithful representation of what you're listening to these are great. Most electronic music is well-balanced enough to not need artificial bass boosting in earphone design. These are really great earphones, I've been enjoying them a lot.

Sennheiser CX-300, far and away. Those Senns are probably the best you'll get under $50, however another contender would be the JVC Marshmellow which sounded better than my $120 Shure earbuds after a little tweak (can find instructions for that on head-fi, if you're interested).

I cant compare sound to another specific manufacturer, but i will say the bass is rich, robust and substantial. I bought a pair and im glad i got them! Only con is the cord is fixed and a bit short.

Yes, defintley . I feel these are little better than my original apple headphones. I'm definitely listening to more music than outside noise.

I looked this up for you and couldn't find many comparisons. I just found this guy's youtube video on headfi. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629433/new-sony-extra-bass-mdr-xb600-mdr-xb800-unboxing-videosEven so, you should try seeing if you can find more comparisons or wait until more come out to have more opinions as the guy in the video may not be 100% reliable (also, they guy said that he didn't burn them in yet). Unfortunately that my take some time.

I'm unsure. I'm not an avid audiophile. Sorry I couldn't help you, I don't know how those p2's compare.

I love my Klipsh S4 earbuds. Far superior comfort and sound compared to ipod stock earphones. Cost about $80, but you wont believe the difference in sound. Especially bass.

Hi mateI had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

Sorry I have not compared them.I was not as impressed as I expected to be. There are nice features like talk through button so if a flight attendant asks a question dont Ned to take headphone off. And the fact that if batery goes flat it still works as regular headphone but the Bose QC 15 us actually better on noise reduction

I only tried these not the x1x but if the x1x have any bass levels at all, they have won in that category. The 101b had none. Just very loud highs, noticeably higher than the original iphone set I've been using. Go to sears try 101b then return them if u want.
